What is Molar Mass?

Back

The molar mass is the mass of one mole of a substance, typically expressed in grams per mole (g/mol). It is calculated by summing the atomic masses of all atoms in a molecule.

How do you calculate the molar mass of a compound?

Back

To calculate the molar mass, identify the number of each type of atom in the molecule, multiply by the atomic mass of each element, and sum the total.

What is the molar mass of a diatomic element?

Back

The molar mass of a diatomic element is twice the atomic mass of the element. For example, nitrogen (N) has an atomic mass of 14 g/mol, so N2 has a molar mass of 28 g/mol.

What is the molar mass of Cl2?

Back

The molar mass of Cl2 (chlorine gas) is 71.0 g/mol, calculated as 2 x 35.5 g/mol.

Calculate the molar mass of CO2.

Back

The molar mass of CO2 (carbon dioxide) is 44 g/mol, calculated as 12 g/mol (C) + 2 x 16 g/mol (O).

Calculate the molar mass of NH4NO2.

Back

The molar mass of NH4NO2 (ammonium nitrite) is 64 g/mol, calculated as 14 g/mol (N) + 4 x 1 g/mol (H) + 2 x 16 g/mol (O).
